What? Are you just making that stuff up? Have you ever even been to a PSP event?

PSP hasn't had 15.4 bps in over a year. It was 13.3 ALL last year, and PSP has already stated it's going down even more for 2009.

And the statement that there is more downtime in XBall than in 7-man is, simply, ludicrous.

Which format is "Easier to follow" is more a matter of opinion, but if you don't even know what the rate of fire is, and think there is more downtime in XBall than 7-man, it would seem reasonable to expect that you have little to no actual experience with XBall.

I have a LOT of experience with XBall. I've televised it four years in a row. It is, in my opinion, ABSOLUTELY easier to follow than 7-man. Hang flag, one point. Get more points than the team you are playing, win. Simple.

7-man... not so much.

Now, if you think 7-man is more fun, or strategic, or whatever, that's certainly a valid opinion. There are lots of people who just plain like 7-man more than XBall. (Of course, to have an informed opinion, it's helpful to have actually at least seen both formats.) But to say it has less down time is just plain wrong, and to say it's easier to follow is a pretty tough argument.
